Chapter 628: The Last Words
His large hand held onto her small hand, and his warmth was plastered on her skin. Yin Shuiling lifted her gaze and looked at the man’s marble-like eyes, she was quiet for a few seconds before she asked him, “Older Brother, what do you think of my recent performance?”
Yin Muchen did not understand her question.
At this moment, there was the sound of the ringtone. He received a call.
He took his phone out and answered it. “h.e.l.lo… I got it, I will come right now…”
Yin Muchen hung up and stood up. “Shuiling, I have something to attend to. I have to go and get busy now.”
He headed out the door.
After his back profile disappeared from Yin Shuiling’s line of vision, she withdrew her gaze. She was quiet as she placed all of the vegetables back before was.h.i.+ng the dishes.
After completing all the tasks, she went back to her room.
She stood before the mirror, and she had a look at herself. She wore a simple and elegant white dress. There was a small floral print ap.r.o.n around her waist. Because he’d said that he liked her to have long hair, she did not cut it. Her hair was very long now, and she used an rubber band to tie her hair up and place it by her shoulders.
She removed the ap.r.o.n, and she slowly let her hair down, exposing her right cheek that she intentionally covered up.
That scar was very eye-catching.
She sat down at the side of the bed. She took out a needle from the drawer by bed stand to p.r.i.c.k the blister on her hand. The moment the blister broke, she could not tell whether it was her hand or her heart that was hurting, and the tears in her eyes started to flow.
She curled both of her legs up to hug herself before she buried her small face into her kneecaps. She did not want to cry, but she could not help but choke up softly.
The question that she wanted to ask just now was, did she perform well?
If she did so, could he marry her then?
Half a year went past just like this.
…
Liu Wanxin lay down on the bed. She did not fall asleep. Although the sound of crying in the room next door was hushed, she still could hear it clearly…
To her, there was not much difference between day and night.She was not tired, and she heard the sound of crying the entire time. Finally, the girl was tired from crying, and the sound stopped.
At this moment, a nurse walked in, and she came to check on her.
“Madam, why are you not sleeping yet?”
Liu Wanxin grabbed onto the nurse’s hand, and she removed the jade green bracelet she had on her wrist and stuffed it into the nurse’s hand. “This is for you.”
The nurse was alarmed and said, “Madam, what are you doing?”
Liu Wanxin laughed, and her tone was relaxed as she said, “It is nothing much. I just thought of my old friend. I have not seen him for a long time now. I also do not know where is he right now. Can you go and get the help of a private investigator on my behalf to help me to check where he is? I do not clearly remember the place where he lives, but it is in the South East direction near the sea. It is very lively, and it should be some sort of a tourist destination. There is a mountain in the back together with a large peach garden.”
“Madam, why are you not asking President Yin to help you look for him? President Yin would definitely find someone faster than me.”
“Oh, you cannot let him know about this matter, including Miss Yin… I was young when I had some relations with this friend of mine. My son and all of them dislike him.”
The nurse understood what she meant, and this matter was really not suitable for the next generation to know.
“Madam, I will go and find a private investigator for you, but I cannot have this bracelet…”
“I did not give it to you for nothing. Go and help me to buy something, I will need it later on.”
…
Yin Muchen returned to the hospital ward around eight at night. Liu Wanxin lay down on the bed as she slept, and Yin Muchen headed towards the room. “Shui…”
He wanted to call Yin Shuiling because Yin Shuiling would normally not be asleep during this time, and she would leave a lamp on to wait for him to return.
But the room today was pitch black. The girl did not leave a light on for him, and in the darkness, he could see a tiny bundle curled up on the bed; she was already sleeping.
Yin Muchen shook his head. This young girl…
He wanted to walk into the room.
At this moment: “Ah Chen…” Liu Wanxin, who was lying on the bed, called him.
Yin Muchen walked over to the side of the bed, “Mum, why are you not asleep yet?” He helped Liu Wanxin sit up, then placed a soft pillow behind her back.
“Ah Chen, Mummy is unable to fall asleep. I want to talk to you.” Liu Wanxin patted Yin Muchen’s hands.
“Mum, what do you want to say?”
“Ah Chen, Mummy has one thing that I have always kept away from you. s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing, I actually caused her to die.”
“What?” Yin Muchen was shocked.
“That day inside the villa, s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing came looking for me. She saw me and was so furious that her entire body was shaking. I heard Yin De mention in the past that she had heart disease, so I used my words to provoke her, and at that time, her heart disease came into effect. She wanted to get the medicine. Yin De wanted to get the medicine for her, but I rolled down from the top of the stairs and broke my leg at the same time. I tugged onto Yin De and did not allow Yin De to save s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing, and after that, s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing died.”
Yin Muchen became silent. He had a look at the small room inside before lowering his volume down to say, “Mum, this matter would end right here. Don’t bring it up again, and we’d better not let Shuiling find out about this.”
“Okay.” Liu Wanxin nodded her head as she said, “You don’t have to worry, I would not say anything. Mummy is only telling this to you.”
“Mum, what do you want to say?”
Liu Wanxin was emotional as she said, “At that time, Mummy really hated s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing so much. As a woman, she allowed her husband to cheat, and she did not have any value in continuing to live on. She should just die, but Ah Chen, at that time, Mummy did not think that she was also a mother, and after she died, her daughter would be very unlucky.
“No matter how hated a mother is, she must have loved her daughter. During these few days, I had been thinking, if s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing did not die, her daughter might be a little more blissful, and for example, when you forced yourself on her five years ago, she was hurt, and she could’ve gotten her mother’s caring love. Five years ago, she went over to England. She did not need to be all alone, and right now, she felt wrong and there is no one here to speak to her. There is not even someone here to protect her…”
“Mum, what is wrong with you today? Why are you defending Yin Shuiling?”
Liu Wanxin shook her head and said, “Mum has only gone through life and death once. I have let go of many things. These past few days, she was shameless and did not have any dignity and was absolutely caring as she took care of me. Mummy’s heart is not made out of stone, I would also get moved by her.”
“Mum, you…”
“Ah Chen, Shuiling is a good lady, Mummy hopes that you would treat her well in the future.”
Yin Muchen was immediately alarmed and said, “Mum, thank you.”
Liu Wanxin stretched her hand out to caress her son’s head as she said, “Mum will ask you, what is going on between you and that Xiao Yao? Today I heard on television that you went into a hotel together with her…”
“Mum, where did you hear about this? I have been busy with a project recently. I have had some contact with the Xiao family. I went into the hotel, and she also came inside coincidentally. Would you also believe the words of the entertainment journalists? They love to make up stories and stir up news from pictures.”
“Okay.” Liu Wanxin nodded her head as she said, “Ah Chen, Mummy believes you, you would forever by Dad and Mum’s good son. In your Dad’s life, he was loyal in his love. Both you and your father are the same. In your life, you would probably protect only one woman, but Ah Chen, it is one thing for Mummy to believe you. Shuiling is a woman. Women all need the feeling of safety.”
“Mum, did Shuiling also hear all of this?”
“She heard it.”
It was only at that moment that Yin Muchen knew why she was behaving abnormally in the kitchen just now, and it turned out this was the case.
“Ah Chen, a woman’s heart is frail, you need to care for it. It is one thing for her to trust you. It is also true that she would get upset. You can pause the things in your career for a moment. You have to maintain a distance from the women that would cause Shuiling to have a misunderstanding. This is the duty of a man. It is very hard to maintain a marriage. It’s is also easy when said so. It is all dependent on you to use your heart.”
“Mum, I got it.”
Liu Wanxin nodded her head. She touched Yin Muchen’s head again before benevolently saying, “Ah Chen, Mummy has said everything that she wants to say. You can go and sleep now.”
“Okay, Mum, good night.”
Yin Muchen supported Liu Wanxin as she lay back down before heading into the small room.
“Ah Chen…” At this moment, Liu Wanxin called him again.
“Mum, what else do you want to say?”
Liu Wanxin laughed. “It is nothing much. I am just a little worried, but Mummy thought about it again, and actually, Mummy has nothing to be worried about. Mummy knows that there is a silly young girl by your side, and she would never let you be hurt and would only wrong herself. Everything is good enough like this.”
…
Yin Muchen returned to the room, and he lifted the blankets up to get in the bed.
The girl was sleeping on her side with her back facing him as she slept, but she was sleeping very far away from him, almost on the side of the bed. Yin Muchen was frustrated and loving as he stretched his long arm out to curl her into his embrace.
The girl came into his embrace and was unwilling as she moved around for a moment, as if she were still angry. He lowered his gaze to have a look. The corners of her eyes had big beads of tears flowing from them.
Yin Muchen felt extremely bad, and she had definitely cried in secret again.
He bent his body down to kiss her small face. “Silly girl, there is nothing going on between me and Xiao Yao. Mummy has already given a lesson on your behalf. I get it. A truly good man would not give journalists the opportunity to stir up rumours. In the future, this matter would not come up again.”
The sleeping girl heard him coax her in her dreams. She pouted her small lips as she turned around, and it was natural for her as she went into his embrace.
Yin Muchen laughed.
At this moment, he realized that there was a blister that’d been p.r.i.c.ked on her small hand. Although it was already treated with medication applied, when it was on her soft tender small hand, it was extremely eye catching.
Yin Muchen felt bad as he kissed her small hand.
Her pair of small hands were treasured preciously from a young age, and now that she was serving his mother and him, how could he not feel touched?
He was loving as he kissed her small nose and said, “Shuiling, the question you asked me in the kitchen today, I can answer you right now; you are performing very well. It is time for us to get married.”
The girl was sleeping, and her small mouth was spewing sweet air. She could not hear what he was saying.
Yin Muchen kissed her small lips and said, “Shuiling, do you know something, my mother has already been moved by you. Our Little Shuiling is the best, as expected.”
…
The next morning, Yin Shuiling woke up late. Yin Muchen left, and she did not prepare breakfast either.
Yin Shuiling changed her clothes, and after she was done was.h.i.+ng up, she quickly went into the hospital ward. Liu Wanxin sat down on the wheelchair, and she was extremely frustrated as she said, “Aunty, I am sorry, I woke up late.”
It was very rare for Liu Wanxin to not snort at her, and she said, “Forget if you have woken up late. I have already eaten my breakfast. I have been eating too much of your food and have tired of it. I ate what the chef in the hospital made today. It is very delicious.”
Yin Shuiling was originally feeling guilty, but when she looked at Liu Wanxin’s expression on her face, she had no other choice but to stand awkwardly. How could that be? Her culinary skills were very good; it was more likely for Liu Wanxin to not be tired of her food!
Yin Shuiling wanted to speak, but at this moment, the door of the hospital ward was open. A familiar voice rang out in the air. “Shuiling.”
Yin Shuiling turned her head back, Ning Qing was here.
